Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The young Scottish artist Douglas Gordon is currently among the most talked-about on the international scene. The first book on Gordon and his work includes extensive interviews with the artist, and features over sixty images of his art. The variety of Gordon's output has included large film installations and smaller works in which he makes use of found footage, text, photography, etc. To Gordon, ambiguity "is a positive state", and much of his art seeks to "construct self-destructive systems". The richly patterned text featured in this publication is an extract of various conversations between Douglas Gordon and Jan Debbaut, the director of Eindhoven's Van Abbemuseum. The intensive discussions are annotated by Francis McKee, the director of the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow, so that the end result is a highly dynamic textual interplay of voices, sources, and subjects.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-197).
